Come December 29, LA — and LC — will be SO last season. The action’s switching coasts as Whitney Port takes Manhattan in MTV’s new Hills spin-off, The City. Previous sneak peeks of the show have revealed that Whit’s exciting life in NYC includes a dream job (doing PR for design icon Diane von Furstenberg), as well as a dream man (remember Aussie rocker Jay?). But will there be less drama since Whitney always appears to be so sensible? Dream on …
As the new trailer suggests, Whit’s love affair is moving at lightening speed levels and one new gal pal has “frenemy” written all over her forehead. Watch as our fave Valley Girl begins to learn that City guys play by different rules … and real City girls put Blair Waldorf to shame.
After watching all the Justin Bobby drama unfold on last week’s Hills, 85% of you felt that Audrina was way harsh on her old (and possibly former??) pal Lauren. So what’s our main concern? How about whether or not the girls’ friendship can take a hit like this and keep on tickin’?
Sure, we’ve seen the two former roomes go at it before (Something about JB and weird shows?) but this was completely different. Flashback: The episode LITERALLY ended with ‘Drina flouncing off (after asking/accusing LC for the zillionth time) while Lauren sobbed in Lo’s arms.
Think this one’s fixable? We’re not sure, but we’re hoping LC can find a way to forgive without forgetting. Meanwhile, looks like Spencer and Stephanie’s nana is comin’ to town. (Break out the preppy men’s polos!) Oh, and (surprise, surprise) Granny says this Pratt-on-Pratt fighting is nothing new…

Fiddy’s new reality show, 50 Cent: The Money and the Power, airs Thursdays at 10pm, but you don’t have to wait ’til then to check out the raw footage. Every day, I’ll be sifting through the ‘50 Cent Dailies‘ to make sure you’re getting your fill of the rapper-turned-mogul. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)
Slate.com’s founding editor Michael Kinsley once described former VP Al Gore as “an old person’s idea of a young person.” And perhaps that poignant observation is exactly what Musso had in mind when he ripped on Ryan’s attire by saying “You dress like a preppy white boy dressed like a black man.”
Regardless of Musso’s intentions, however (or his possible affinity for political news writing), his unsolicited fashion advice seems to have succeeded only in earning him a new enemy in the house. So check out this 50 Cent Daily, and tune in tonight (Yes, after Turkey Day) for an all-new episode of The Money and the Power.
(Hey, guess that must be an MTV programming exec’s idea of an MTV viewer’s idea of a dream Thanksgiving!)
A NOTE FROM THE PRODUCER OF TRUE LIFE: I’M IN A LOVE TRIANGLE …
As a producer of MTV’s True Life, there’s rarely a dull moment on a shoot. Especially when dealing with a topic like Love Triangles, where so many deep emotions come into play. Needless to say, we’re always prepared for anything.
Because this episode dealt with imperfect relationships, there were numerous times in both stories that people weren’t talking to one another. Not only did this make production difficult, but we commonly became intermediaries, passing messages back and forth between them all. It felt a bit like high school! However, at the end of the day, it’s comforting to know that everyone’s now in a better place relationship-wise than when the show first started taping. Just read single and fabulous Lazar’s update below…
EMAIL UPDATE FROM LAZAR 11/26/08 …
Hey, what’s good everyone, it’s ya boi’, LAZAR ! Since the show, I have been doing well. Me and Jordan are still on good terms (as friends) — and me and Alyssa are also back on good terms (as friends). I decided and learned to not get into a LOVE TRIANGLE because it’s too much drama and krazy-ness … LoL. It’s enough work trying to hold it down and keep one girl satisfied in every way, but TWO girls … geeshhhh. So as of now, I am a SINGLE young guy.
I feel like a relationship at this point in my life would be a distraction — being single allows me to focus on school and making music for the ladies with my R&B group, 2 Official. I am super young, so I have the rest of my life to truly find that right girl for me … and when she does come into my life, and I decide to start a relationship, I will then know how to make her feel good MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY *and* EMOTIONALLY.
If any of you out there want to reach me … hit me up here. I appreciate the love, so holla at me!
Some girls spend years trying to plan the perfect wedding. Spencer and Heidi had the whole thing wrapped in just over an hour.
Between checking out the chapel (ten minutes?), writing their vows (maybe five?), hitting up the hotel gift shop for some temporary rings and primping for their 15-minute ceremony (”Hair and makeup were the least of my worries,” said the bride-to-be), those marriage-minded Pratts managed to tie the knot in less time than it takes the rest of us to work up a sweat at the gym.
And since you guys probably have a bunch of questions (What did Heidi wear? Do they have any regrets? Where’s the ring??), we figured we’d give you a bullet-point rundown of all the highlights. But first things first: How’s this all gonna play out on The Hills?

With The City premiere just one month away (Dec. 29!), clues about Whitney Port’s new and fabu life in NYC have started to surface, among them these photos our online team snapped while the show’s videocameras were also rolling.
‘Whit’ nameplate necklace and all, Port is poised to take the place of Manhattan’s Original Sexy Single Girl, Carrie Bradshaw. And by the looks of the brunette opposite her, Whitney might already have met her Charlotte. Char would totes wear that headband!
Stay tuned for more news and snapshots from The City!
Right after Perez Hilton broke the news of Speidi’s undercover “I do’s,” we asked you guys if you thought the happy hitched Hillzies would be together forever. Turns out, an overwhelming 90% of you think the newlyweds might’ve jumped the gun in tying the knot! (Only 10% of you guys predicted Spencer and Heidi were in for a lifetime of marital bliss.)
Fortch for Mr. and Mrs. Pratt, not everyone was a Negative Nancy about their muy caliente Mexican marriage.

Being a celebrity does has its advantages (Think: adoring fans, clothing freebies and invites to all the hottest parties), but despite what you see on TV, it ain’t all perks and positive publicity. (Hello? E! True Hollywood Story, anyone??)
So what are some of the downsides to being uber-famous? Well, if you’re Paris Hilton, that would be going through an extremely painful public breakup, getting slammed by the press for your choice in eveningwear and getting booed at a 16-year-old’s birthday party — then reading about it on Page Six. And that was just this week alone!
The way we see it? Brittany and Vanessa have the easy job — after all, whoever wins Paris BFF gets all the trappings of fame without any of the unrelenting public scrutiny. The problem with celebrity? You can’t turn it off whenever you “need a moment.” And as P. Hilton re-learned this week, that’s not always hot.
What a long, crazy season of Paris Hilton: My New BFF it’s been! Tonight, we said buh-bye to Crazy Corrie and Snoozeworthy Shelley, which means only two girls (Brittany and Vanessa) are still in the running to become Paris‘ new bestie!
And while it’s no secret we were on Team Onch all the way (FYI, if you’re ever looking for a pigtailed cross-dresser with gastrointestinal probs, he’s your man!) we wanna know which of the two remaining friendsies has the most BFF potential!
